Where Is The Best Place To Send Coins Too?

either NGC or PCGS. you cant go wrong there. I know that NGC is around $25

My home is the best place for me
PCGS is rated as the best than NGC and then ANACS as far as price pre grade

are prices fixed, or if there is a more valuable coin do they tac on a premium percentage to the coin's overall price? That may influence where you want to send it?

Hi,

Some grading companies have a fixed price while some add an amount depending upon the value of the coin. Each of the major grading companies will have their price structures on their websites.

I am not sure of what your experience level is as you only have 34 posts....but....

That can mean that you just found us:-) even though you might have a ton of experience. OR...You may be pretty new at this.

The reality is that unless a coin is worth more than a hundred dollars, it doesn't pay to have a coin encapsulated. The next reality is that most people want to send in coins that they think are something important but the coins turn out to be damaged or exhibiting doubling called Machine Doubling, which is worthless.

Many collectors attempting to slab coins, end up doing one of a few things.

1) paying a fee to have a coin come back as nothing.

2) paying a fee to have a worthless coin come back labeled as "machine doubled"

3) paying a fee worth much more than the coin is worth.

If you have experience then I would guess that you wouldn't be asking your original question so I am guessing that you are still in the learning phase of this fun hobby. I would sincerely reccommend that you really study your coins so that you fully know what you are looking at. In the hobby, we used to say "Buy the Book before the coin". The idea was that it is better to gain a strong knowledge base before spending money:-)

The same thing applies with respect to slabbing coins.

We are here to help! You can post pictures here or you can read the many posts here to determine what you might have and thereby make a good choice as to what you might want to spend your money on.

Have Fun,
Bill

Ohhhh,I am listening,I have the books,the tools,all I need
(except a cam)to know basically and yes I have jumped the gun plenty of times believe me,but this is the 1st time I've considered sending any in,I don't know that I will for sure but have been thinking about it,I can pretty much tell right off if its MMD because the flat look and no rounded edges or valleys,and especially no notching,I do pay attention and correct me if I am wrong but wasn't it Tremonti who found the big one but no one took him serious until he sent it to MR. Potter? but I do have a few that I think are both because they don't fit either directly,if that doesn't sound too crazy........But Thanks for all the Help Guys and I will never know enough so I keep coming and bounce from site to site to learn all I can! I love CherryPickin!
